This was such a fast recipe! I added chicken breast to it and I did not have fresh ingredients like some folks shared as well. I used sweet grape tomatoes. I seasoned my chicken desperately and fried it first, when it was cooked through, I added minced garlic, then the tomatoes, basil, and pepper to taste. Once that was cooked through for a short amount of time I added the past and tossed it.

This was a simple and fresh tasting meal. I used 4 oz dried pasta and kept the same amount of ingredients listed, except I used 2 cloves fresh garlic. I also added a tsp of balsamic vinegar, pepper, and about 1/8 cup of sundered tomatoes for extra flavor. Very tasty topped with a bit of parmesan cheese.

This is delicious, but only as long as your tomatoes are red, ripe, juicy and flavorful. I skipped the dried basil, choosing fresh parsley instead, and added freshly ground pepper and a good dousing of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Mmmmmmm!!! I made this for dinner for company tonight... I used this recipe as a guide but wanted my sauce to be warm... so, I sauteed an entire (small) head of minced garlic in a healthy dose of olive oil, 1/2 cup (packed full) of chopped sundried tomatoes (packed in seasoned oil) **SUNDRIED TOMATOES are an essential addition to this recipe!!**, and threw in a couple tbsp of the tomatoe's oil... let that cook together for a couple minutes, then added my fresh tomatoes (I used 6 large very ripe ones, bite-sized chunky pieces), and 8x the amount of basil (about 1 tbsp dried and 1/4 cup fresh chopped)... tossed together over medium heat just until warm and juicy, not boiling hot.... Perfection!!!! Served with al dente pasta and fresh asiago and pepper, so good! (Garlic bread worked well for mopping up the extra yummy sauce)... Served 4 people, they all loved it!! :)

Easy and tasty way to use garden tomatoes! I doubled the tomato mixture using 2 large tomatoes and a garden fresh green pepper chopped. Served over rigatoni with a simple salad. There were no leftovers. Thank you for sharing such a simple recipe.
